Conclusion

• BCG framework is needed to assume whether the product has an increment in relative market share as well as to increase in the cash generation.

• It is a simple tool to view a corporation’s portfolio at a glance and resource allocation among strategic business units.

• Example, the position of a business on the growth-share matric provides an indication of its cash generation and its cash consumption.
